It's Been Months

I'm back on track I think. Been spending most of my time recovering. Three hospital stays, although technically twice I was transferred to a different hospital. Now I do next to nothing, but I'm still alive and hoping to improve.

The kitties still here are many, but they mostly get along okay. I have only 3 around here now not fixed. I can't catch them. They come close, and even come in the house to eat when food runs out in the shed, but I haven't been allowed to pet them yet. Working on it.

Was too sick for a while to do much clicking...but I'm startingt to get caught up.

These places have bought the kitty food this month:

What to Do When Bored

With my cats, computer, books, beads, wood and sundry other objects, I'm seldom bored. If boredom comes creeping my way, I sneak around the corner to turn my hand at something else. I still miss work, but it is the people I miss, not the work itself.

So today, I was surprised that I actually was sitting at the table thinking I may be bored. Bored...me...yep.

So now I am on a mission to make sure my oldest younger sister has books to read. Tried offering her a cat, but she has three already. No more room. But she will take some books.

Was able to get 4 more cats fixed, 3 girls, 1 boy. Don't think I'll be doing any more right away. It's time for home insurance and car insurance.

All the New Ones

Below I will put links of the programs I used that bought Kibbles this past few weeks. But the bigger news is that I was able to get over 20 spayed or neutered. I have put some I couldn't find homes for on Craigslist and some other lists. Hopefully some will get the homes they need.

I had to borrow cages, and transportation was provided by volunteers. So I'm not claiming I did this all by myself. My grandkids helped trap the wild ones, and cage the not-exactly-tame ones. I just made the arrangements and paid the cash and spent effort to tame them down. I do enjoy living rodent free.

So the kitty situation is not as bad as it was...but it is still overwhelming for me.

Here are some of the links I use that help me buy Kibbles, Litter and Toys.

Kitty Kibbles

So not being allowed to go back to work has hurt the amount of pocket money for kitty kibbles. But the cats are still here and I cannot stand making them go without food. So the kitties and I had a chat, and we decided with all this extra time, we'd find a way to earn kibbles. Plus the extra to get one spayed or neutered as we can.

Now just keep checking to see how we're doing.
Every time we get kibbles money, it will be posted here first.

Do You Like Cats?

So here it is September, and I need to ready the shed for winter. Put in a heat lamp and some more cat crates, I guess.

Kitty Cat brought in two little black kittens the other day, maybe 7-8 weeks old. Wizard brought in two little striped ones about 5-6 weeks old. These are both big male strays whose owners are gone. I do not have a clue whether they are the dads or just helping out the babies. Either way, I'm swamped now.

I think maybe I can turn the center of the shed into a multi-cat condo tower. If I do this, I'll post pics when it is done. Maybe one in my hallway, also. I don't really know what to do about all the kittens. No one wants them.

Maybe I'll look into becoming a non-profit no-kill cat shelter. Can I do this from home? I already do...LOL...

Okay, see y'all in a few.

Cats and Free Things

My birthday was the other day. My daughter and granddaughter made sure I had a nice dinner and a chocolate cake. So I may be older now, but I intend to last much longer. Means more chocolate cake, doesn't it?

Update on mama cat and 4 kittens: only one boy, black, Salem. one black girl, Elvira. one black and orange girl, Eve. one black-grey striped with small bits of orange splashes girl, Rowan. Apparently mama cat was having trouble producing milk. She brought them out of hiding, then crunched up some cat food and laid it on the walkway for them. In the past few days they have learned how to eat dry food, climb up to the water bowl, and how to convince humans to pay attention to them.

Also, some unknown cat dropped a couple more kittens off at the shed: a black one that looks just like my Pixie, all eyes and ears, and another bigger Rowan. No one saw these arrive, nor have we seen a mama checking on them. They aren't friendly to humans yet.

For the next few days, I'll be looking at some free offerings. Today I got Preventing Identity Theft and How to fix Slow Computer Startup and HTML Simplified, all free from here: Gold Peak There was other stuff to choose. These are the ones I wanted to read.

Okay, here's a few links to check out...

Strange Summer

This has been a strange summer. No garden to tend. No fresh veggies. And no work. I'm still not allowed to go back to work.

I'm still on oxygen 24-7. Guess it could be worse, though. I'm still waking up and motivating(slowly).

There is a small orange cat outside I call Little Bit, because she's only half as big as her sisters. Couldn't get her in a cage when I took her sisters to the vet. So now she has brought over 2 little kittens and after a few days, left them in the shed. Also, a small black and white cat we call Bandit just brought me her 5 kittens. Suppose a name change is in order there.
Then, just a couple days ago, a mama cat carried her new kittens in the shed, put them way in the back behind the boxes and stuff, and won't let other cats in that corner.

Maybe I should just turn the shed into a cathouse. I'm still hoping to get in some program to help me fix all these strays. We have too many cats, way too many kittens, and more keep finding my place.

Below will be the Traffic Exchanges I'm using this month. It's been fun checking out so many different programs.

Ok...see you next time.

Glad to be Home

Home...simple four-letter word...means so many different things.

In hospital a few days. Released on 24-7 oxygen and lots of meds and rules, and unfortunately, on steroids still. Released with lots of fear and too few real answers. Then yesterday, went to my doctor's office. Got some answers there.

So today I stand here trying so hard to be a former smoker, knowing I'm killing myself if I light up, and sometimes crying because I'm not completely stopping smoking. I'm trying to quit. I don't want to die yet. But somehow, I can't find the strength to stop. I'm not smoking lots...but if it goes on, I bet it wouldn't be long before I'd just be back to the regular 1-1 1/2 packs a day grind. I don't want to smoke. Smells bad, tastes bad, making me sicker. Just got to keep trying not to smoke.

Cats were glad I came home. They all surrounded me outside and we had a petting session. They told me all their news, but I can't repeat that here. I will say 4 of them beat up a possum trying to empty their bowl in the shed.

The inside cats are becoming more outside cats, which is really better for all of us.
They are all fixed, they all have their shots, they are healthy, and have the cattitudes we've been working on all year. Now they're going to teach the outside cats little ways to make life better.

No big garden this year, sadly. Guess I'll be a better Farmer's Market customer now.

So I'm going to go away now and find something else to do. I'll be back in a day or two.
